Microsoft announced that at the moment the new Windows 7 operating system is showing truly outstanding sales indicators. Since July 2009, Soft Giagant has already been able to sell 90 million copies of the new OS, which became the most accumulated operating system in the history of a software giant.
"We adopt with humility and joy the fact that people perceived the appearance of Windows 7 so positively. Thanks to our customers, this operating system has become the most quickly sold in history," the company said.
In January of this year, Microsoft with the equally poorly hidden pride announced that outstanding sales of Windows 7 led to the receipt in the second quarter of the financial year of record revenue and profit. As of December 31 last year, that is, in less than 3 months, the company managed to implement 60 million licenses for a new operating system.
However, large companies for the most part remain on Windows XP, and they are in no hurry to switch to a new system, a good example of what is a long -standing partner of Microsoft, Intel corporation.
In addition, it is noted in the report, the Gartner analytical agency noted at the beginning of the year that the Windows 7 release did not cause a demand for new computers, although it became a good "marketing tool."
